Stopped in at the lighthouse on our way to Wingspread. A nicely maintained and restored lighthouse and out buildings. Do take the time to stop into the small museum and chat with the volunteer. There is much tragic history in this great fresh water lake!
This made for a pleasant stop -- the lighthouse is only open specific days, but...

Beautiful scenery with a little history, well worth the visit, especially on a nice day. There is a little gift shop, but no cafeteria, you can bring your lunch box and some picnic stuff and enjoy yourself on the picnic tables on the lake.

If you are seeing FLW's Wingspan be sure to drive a few minutes up the road to see this beautiful lighthouse(great photo opportunity) and a view of Lake Michigan. There is a small museum and gift shop there also, however, we did not have time to see them. In just 10 minutes you can have picturesque photos of the lighthouse...

It was a drive there and at times I thought I was on the wrong road to see this lighthouse the. All of a sudden there it is. It's cool to see a part of Lake Michigan history dating back to the 1800's. They even have very nice restrooms. There is a little place with a beach area where you...

Amazingly, it wasn't crowded despite being...

Beautiful drive & scenery bring you to this "off the road" little piece of history. Delightful & educational. Explains lighthouses, their important need and place in our history and how they worked. I plan to return when the Museum is open. Check their website for times and scheduled trips up the 140 steps to the top. There is a per...
